Art of insulting other religions

Dr Zakir Naik is an Indian who was born in Mumbai. Mumbai is in India so that makes him an Indian.

However, he is a Muslim preacher and is said by Hindus in both India and Malaysia as one who would regularly insult Hinduism. Hence we read of MIC and Indian NGOs in Malaysia protesting against his current preaching tour of Malaysia.

BUBANESWAR: Social outfit Bharat Raksha Manch on Wednesday lodged a complaint against a religious leader for posting derogatory remarks against Hindu deities on social networking sites - Facebook and Youtube.

The Manch's national secretary, Anil Dhir, filed the complaint at Kharavel Nagar police station alleging that the leader in question Dr Zakir Naik, head of a Mumbai-based religious research foundation, questioned the existence of Lord Ganesh and Shankar.

"If you prove that Sri Ganesh is Bhagwan, then I will eat the Prasad, If your Bhagwan cannot recognize his own son (Ganesh), how will he recognize me if I fall into difficulties - were the remarks, purportedly made by Naik," Dhir said. "He has hurt the sentiments of scores of Hindus. His inflammatory posts should be blocked and he be arrested," Dhir added.

No Doctor, I believe there is noneBut strangely, in the Bible, Tripitaka and Mahabharata there is a corresponding lack of sign of Islam

Here in Malaysia, Ann Wan Seng is a Chinese and like Dr Zakir Naik is a Muslim preacher. He is also a member of Perkim national council.

Instead of doing his work for Islam and Perkim without insulting other races or religions, he just had to insult the non-Muslim Chinese. But alas for him, he did it in a pitiful ignorant way, testifying to his abysmal ignorance on a topic he set out to insult, a typically dubious hallmark of his BTN-ized Boleh-ness.

Sometime back in 2010, he delivered a speech to deliberately insult the Chinese Buddhists, grandstanding in front of and ingratiating himself with the Malay-Muslims, perhaps by suggesting through his attacks against Chinese Buddhists that he wasn't a Chinese. Now, didn't he remind you of someone, a 'twin' perhaps, who's always at pain to remind Malay-Muslims he is one too, wakakaka.

Needless to say, his ignorant religious bigotry drew the desired laughter, sniggers, giggles from his rapt audience who weren't aware of the religious fact that Buddhists have no almighty creator god or gods.

Yes, Buddhists (like Jainists) don’t give two figs about god or gods because their way to their belief in Nirvana must be and can only be achieved through their own efforts - no god or gods or angel or anyone can help them save their own efforts.

Thus god or gods are completely irrelevant to their religious beliefs.

But that's the pathetic pitiful pariah-ish ignorance of Ann Wan Seng.

Anyway, I can't understand why an Indian must insult Indian Hindu beliefs, even if those beliefs are different to his belief in Islam.

Can minister Shahidan Kassim explain please since he the minister has told Indian Hindus not to interfere in Muslim affairs? Shouldn't a Muslim like Dr Zakir Naik also refrain from interfering in Hindu affairs?

And I can't understand why a Chinese must insult Chinese Buddhist beliefs, even if those beliefs are different to his belief in Islam.

Can Minister Shahidan Kassim explain please since he the minister has told Indian Hindus not to interfere in Muslim affairs? Thus, shouldn't a Muslim like Ann Wan Seng also refrain from interfering in Buddhist affairs

I'm only waiting for a Japanese Muslim to insult Japanese beliefs (in Buddhism or Shintoism), even if those beliefs are different to his belief in Islam. And then I want to export minister Shahidan Kassim to Japan to explain to Buddhist and Shinto Japanese.

And the Japanese can keep him there forever, wakakaka and hopefully sayonara to the minister.

Always judge someone by the way he speaks but never by the way he looks. Dressed in a western outfit, one looks like a moderate but can actually be a hypocrite who propagates hostility and terrorism; and yet reasons out that he is on the right road.

You don’t have to disrespect and insult and terrorize believers of other faith just because to hold your own. If you do, that shows how fake your religion is!

“Do not curse the idols they set up beside Allah, lest they blaspheme and curse Allah, out of ignorance. We have adorned the works of every group in their eyes. Ultimately, they return to their Lord, then He informs them of everything they had done.” (Verse of al-Anan'am:108)

and how about this verse, also missing?

"Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided." (Quran, an-Nahl: 125)
